Since I woke up three days ago with a toothache and it ended up being an ascessed gum under the tooth I thought I'd post what worked for me and didn't work for me.
I do have an appointment with my dentist in the morning but I must say most of the abcess is now gone.
The first thing I tried was Colloidal Silver at 12 ppm and although that was soothing somewhat, it really didn't take the pain away much and the sweeling seemed to gradually get worse.
I then started taking Echinacea and that unfortunately didn't seem to touch it. I used the echinacea and the silver together back and forth with limited success.
I tried chamomile in tea form. I slowly sipped the tea and took the tea bag and wrapped it around my gum and tooth. That definately helped. Took alot of the pain away and it felt somewhat more numb.
I tried to go to sleep but after an hour or so realized it was now starting to thob and I couldn't get comfortable. So..
I grabbed a tincture of Goldenseal and let that set in my mouth awhile before I swallowed it. It didn't seem to do much at first but I notice after the second dose a couple of hours later the throbbing stopped.
I alternated between the Goldenseal, the Silver and the Chamomile tea late last night, early this morning and all day today. The swelling is gone. The pain is minimal and I do believe another day or so of doing this and it would be totally under control.
I'm still going to the dentist tomorrow for safety sake but it was a good experience in case TSHTF and the Dentist isn't available.
So for the Herbal Health Kit I recommend Goldenseal tincture in Vegetable Glycerin along with Chamomile and Silver for teeh issues.
Hope that may help.
